| 1 | * BuryYourArt: Music/MileyCyrus recorded backing vocals for "I Am Veronica", and Morrissey described his working relationship with her as amiable. However, she later asked that her parts be removed; Morrissey blamed the decision on CreativeDifferences with "a key figure in 'the circle,'" while others speculated that Cyrus backed out due to Morrissey's controversial statements on immigration and Islam. The issue became a moot point when Creator/CapitolRecords chose to block the song's parent album, ''Bonfire of Teenagers'', from release. |
| 2 | * ChannelHop: Too many to list, as Morrissey has switched labels frequently. Also, in the 2000s and TheNewTens he would have his Creator/{{EMI}} albums reissued on defunct labels owned by the company, such as Creator/{{Liberty|Records}} and Major Minor. |
| 3 | * CreatorBreakdown: After losing his infamous lawsuit against Mike Joyce over Music/TheSmiths royalties, Morrissey recorded the song "Sorrow Will Come In the End," bemoaning the lawsuit. The song was cut from the UK release of ''Maladjusted'' for fear of legal action. That lawsuit, and not the supposed rift between Morrissey and Music/JohnnyMarr, is perhaps the main reason why a Smiths reunion is highly unlikely. |
| 4 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: ''World Peace is None of Your Business'' was pulled from sale three weeks after its release following a disagreement between Morrissey and Creator/HarvestRecords. The album isn't impossible to find, but it's no longer available from official channels and has disappeared from streaming sites. Harvest's sister label, Creator/CapitolRecords, would snag the rights to it when Morrisey signed onto them, but his departure from Capitol and their blocking of ''Bonfire of Teenagers'' puts the fate of ''World Peace is None of Your Business'' in doubt. |
| 5 | * ReferencedBy: Music/DavidBowie recorded a CoverVersion of "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday" on ''Music/BlackTieWhiteNoise''. As Morrisey's version was a pastiche of Bowie's style, Bowie himself and his biographers had fun pointing out the circularity of it. |
| 6 | * ScrewedByTheLawyers: ''Bonfire of Teenagers'' was recorded with the intent of being Morrissey's first release on Creator/CapitolRecords, onto whom he signed after being dropped by BMG. However, at the end of 2022, he left the label before the album's planned release date of February 2023; Capitol still held the rights to it, and their parent company, Creator/UniversalMusicGroup, chose to withhold it from release for unspecified reasons. ''Without Music the World Dies'' was rush-recorded in the wake of this, with Morrissey refraining from finding a label to sign onto until after finishing the album. |
